SMOOTH SURFACES - Smooth surface steel grating is available in a wide variety of materials for
many applications.

SERRATED SURFACES - Serrated surfaces are available on many types of grating. The serrated surface
provides a safe, slip-resistant surface. These surfaces offer more secure footing where a variety
of liquids such as oil, chemicals, or water are present.

FLATTENED EXPANDED METAL

Flattened expanded metal is manufactured by passing the standard expanded sheet through a cold roll
reducing mill. Flattened expanded metal turns the strands and bonds down to provide a flattened surface,
reducing the thickness (gauge) and elongating the pattern. Thickness may vary plus or minus 10% from
published dimensions.

STANDARD EXPANDED METAL

Standard expanded metal as it comes from the press. The strands and bonds are set at a uniform angle to the
plane on the sheet. This gives added strength and rigidity, as well as skid-resistant surface. Standard
expanded metal is abbreviated XM.

GRATING

Grating is a standard expanded metal pattern produced from heavier gauge low carbon steel plates. Strands and
the openings of grating are considerably larger than other meshes. It is ideal for use wherever a strong, durable,
lightweight surface is needed. Although used primarily for pedestrian traffic, grating can accommodate heavier
loads if properly supported.

PERF-O GRIP® Grating

Perf-O Grip® is a plank metal grating offering a slightly less aggressive surface than Grip Strut®. Perf-O Grip®
is made with a round hole pattern. Perf-O Grip's® light weight and resilient design makes the product easy to
handle and install producing a very economical installed cost.

SHIPPING STEEL STRAPPING
